“Skin-free, anti-bacterial and anti-mildew, LED ink”, there are so many black technologies in the edge banding!
Edge banding is a material used to protect, decorate and beautify the section of artificial panel. It is not only the finishing touch of panel characteristics, but also determines the life cycle of panel and household products.
With the strengthening and expansion of the panel customization market, the edge banding, as a necessary product of the panel, has also ushered in a broad world. In order to meet the needs of the personalized consumer market, it faces more challenges in material, shape and function.
In addition to the traditional PVC, PP, melamine and solid wood leather materials, there are many new features of the edge sealing materials that are developing towards high quality, environmental protection and personalization. Especially in the pursuit of function, there is no best, only better.
Therefore, the author visited the market to show you the “black technology” in the world of edge banding!
01 New features of edge sealing materials
01-1 Favorite of high-end market – ABS edge banding
ABS resin is one of the advanced materials in the world, with less additives added during processing and manufacturing, and has excellent performance of environmental protection, sustainability and recyclability. ABS edge banding has the advantages of wear resistance, corrosion resistance, aging resistance, fire resistance, moisture resistance, etc., good dimensional stability, strong impact resistance, good gloss, and the edge banding process can be mechanical or manual, and the requirements for adhesive are not high. The only drawback is the high price of materials, which are often used in high-end panel furniture.

01-2 No metal, no luxury – aluminum alloy edge banding
The metal material has a unique modern sense, giving the product a perfect texture, low-key and luxury. The aluminum alloy edge banding strip will not crack, is not easy to deform, has good scratch resistance, corrosion resistance and weather resistance, long service life, good flexibility, and is more environmentally friendly. It is often used for edge banding of wardrobe, cabinet, door panel, etc., and can better protect the edges and corners from damage.

01-3 Different shapes – special-shaped edge banding
The existence of special-shaped edge banding strips enriches the use scenarios of edge banding strips, which can not only prevent the damage of adverse factors to the board and prevent the volatilization of formaldehyde inside the board, but also meet different use scenarios, or arc or wave shape, making the design of panel furniture more humanized.
According to the use requirements, the material can be divided into soft and hard, and the material can be PVC, PP, metal, etc. The soft rubber strip has the functions of sealing and anti-collision; The surface of hard edge banding is rich in color and pattern, including T-shaped strip, U-shaped strip, square-hole clamp strip, single-hole anti-collision strip, etc., which are widely used in furniture, kitchenware, equipment, civil laboratory, etc.

02 Black technology of edge sealing materials
In addition to the new features in material and shape, and the new requirements in the function of edge banding, it is full of science and technology. It is amazing that the original edge banding can also be like this!
02-1 Skin-feeling seamless edge banding
Let the hard plate have a tender and smooth feel like a baby, and leave no marks after fingering. Skin feeling materials are the new favorite in the plate market in recent years. Being able to become a new favorite is not only a good feel, but also a 360 ° non-reflective matte look, soft and elegant, which truly takes into account vision, touch and function, and achieves the same performance as art.
▲ Skin feeling edge banding
PET skin-feeling edge banding refers to applying a special layer of skin-feeling UV on the surface of the edge banding in the production engineering to achieve the effect of tender and smooth touch like baby skin. However, it is still difficult to achieve perfect effect, for example, color difference is easy to occur in the sense of solid skin color; Poor dryness, easy to lose touch; It is difficult to have both hands and light; It is difficult to achieve fingerless touch.
An excellent skin-feeling edge band should have the following advantages:
① Fingerprint prevention: no “fingerprint” after fingering;
② Don’t touch hands: skin feels like newborn skin, smooth and smooth;
③ Anti-fouling: easy to clean without leaving traces;
④ Scratch-resistant and wear-resistant: no fear of edge collapse and collision;
⑤ Odorless safety: the environmental protection grade exceeds the national standard;
⑥ Yellowing resistance: ten years as a day, clean as new;
⑦ Matte: 360 ° non-reflective, soft and elegant.
▲ Skin feeling edge banding
Such skin-feeling edge banding will bring its own black technology, forming a unique advantage, endowing household products with high quality and bringing consumers ultimate enjoyment.

02-2 Antimicrobial and anti-mildew edge sealing strip
Whether it is the current epidemic situation or the rainy season following the past years, the anti-bacterial and anti-mildew function of household products has always been very popular, and the anti-bacterial and anti-mildew sealing strip has also emerged as the times require.
“Skin-free, anti-bacterial and anti-mildew, LED ink”, there are so many black technologies in the edge banding!
▲ Antibacterial and mildew-proof edge banding
On the basis of environmental protection edge banding, antibacterial and mildew-proof edge banding applies a new generation of nanometer photocatalyst technology to ionize the air, damage the bacterial cell membrane in the air, inhibit and decompose the synthesis of bacterial protein, and decompose harmful substances into non-toxic and harmless carbon dioxide and water from the root. So as to achieve the purpose of sterilization, air purification, deodorization, mildew prevention and elimination of air pollution.
The edge banding with advanced anti-bacterial and anti-mildew technology can achieve the highest level of anti-bacterial and anti-mildew performance, which can effectively kill all kinds of pathogenic bacteria. Compared with ordinary edge banding, it was found that the use of antibacterial and mildew-proof edge banding significantly reduced the number of pathogenic bacteria by more than 99%. In the anti-mildew experiment, the anti-mildew and anti-mildew edge banding strip will not have any mildew sign for a long time, while the ordinary edge banding strip will have obvious black spots and obvious mildew signs within 12 hours. At the same time, the anti-bacterial and anti-mildew sealing strip after special anti-moisture treatment also has significant moisture-proof and anti-deformation characteristics.
▲ Antibacterial and mildew-proof edge banding
With the protection of anti-bacterial and anti-mildew sealing strips, bacteria and mold will have nowhere to hide, and the home environment will be greener and healthier, and life will be more comfortable and secure.
02-3LED ink edge banding
The black technology edge banding, in addition to the ones with comfortable feel and powerful practical functions, of course, also takes into account the beauty and environmental protection, that is, the LED ink edge banding.
▲ LED ink edge banding
LED ink is a kind of ink that can be solidified instantaneously by ultraviolet radiation. Compared with traditional ink, it can save a lot of energy in the ink drying process, and has no solvent, volatilization, VOC emission, harmful substance residue, no harm to human body, environmental protection, safety and health.
Based on the excellent performance of LED ink, LED ink edge banding can greatly reduce the production of carbon dioxide during the printing process. Both the production process and the finished edge banding are very green and environmentally friendly. In addition, LED ink has very short reaction time, high production efficiency, real color, beautiful color, vivid and clear texture, strong adhesion and high wear resistance. In addition, the edge banding products printed with LED ink will not emit any smell, so it is safer and safer to use.
“Skin-free, anti-bacterial and anti-mildew, LED ink”, there are so many black technologies in the edge banding!
